    When choosing your trading name it is wise to avoid anything like Apple or Harrods that could be picked up by a potentially litigious company. 
    Mind you, it worked out well for Roger Virgin a carpenter in S Wales who was pursued by Richard Branson.  He stood up to them and they eventually settled the dispute by giving Roger a few thousand pounds, which he donated to charity.

    Oh, i would definitely avoid that lawsuit zone; nice one, though! Cheers!

    Ha! This also reminded me of Joe Lycett changing his name briefly to Hugo Boss. Amazing to see how dominating those super rich are.
